[ It took her a little bit to figure out how to post anonymously and she'll likely fail to keep it up, but she thought she'd try. ]

A recent survey posted to the network has me wondering how many here have been here for a little while and HAVEN'T done anything more beyond platonic physical contact. I only wish to know how long you've been here if so. You don't need to elaborate unless you want to.

One more query.

Say you have a crush on someone who isn't here. And not just a tiny little fluttering of something but it's so ridiculously INTENSE that it's like a magnetic force draws you to them any time they're around. BUT you find yourself having similar feelings to someone who IS here. Maybe it's not as intense but you do really like them and think about doing similar things with them as the person from home. Even though you've barely done any of those things with anyone let alone had a crush before.

What do you do? Do you hold out hope that maybe the crush will just go away or that your crush from home will show up? Do you go for it and hope it doesn't ruin everything? Especially if you're unsure if they have any of the same feelings or if they might already be with someone else.

I'm sorry, I don't understand most of what you're trying to say.

[itsknighttime]

its cool i get that a lot

ok let me put it to you this way
if your two dudes or whatever mixup mashup you have were about to throw down by the monkeybars
who would you pull away by the arm to want to protect and who would you pull away by the arm because you knew they were being a douchebag?
douchebag you ditch and the one you protect you keep
you only really protect what you love and you stop your friends from being douchebags

[ragingnature]

[ She has to think about that for a moment. ]

I'm not sure this test works in this case. I would likely get between them and call them both idiots. [ Or grow a tree between them if she has the Chroma to do so, but saying that would certainly out her. ]

[itsknighttime]

alright thats pretty damn fair
what about a pro and con sheet

like ok
name me one good thing about both of them and then one bad thing about both of them

[ragingnature]

Well, one has been nothing but kind to me even after I was kind of forced on him due to circumstances completely out of either of our control. Although I could say the same about the other.

As for one bad thing, I haven't known either of them long enough to find something I think is bad about them.

[itsknighttime]

huh
ok one more question to add to the growing pile
whats the difference then?
seems like yall just found an interchangeable crush and theres nothing good about one over the other
thats all im hearing here

[ragingnature]

[ When it's all put like that she feels bad and she's not exactly sure why. ]

I guess the difference is one is my first ever crush and the other isn't.

But I guess you're right. And the plan before was just to simply squash down my feelings.

[itsknighttime]

sentimentality vs possibility
that shits hard man
i dont envy you

ok close your eyes
if youre still reading this then you didnt close your eyes but probably good because you couldnt read if you did
if you did then ill just wait for you to get back to opening your eyes
when you close your eyes imagine a chill movie night with popcorn and your favourite flick and an arm
whos arm is it
im running out of tropes to help but im determined

1/???

[ragingnature]

I don't particularly like imaging that scenario. [ For reasons she'd rather not get into. ]

And I'm not entirely sure Hades is a chill movie night type of man.

( not here )

[ scrolling through the network and PERSEPHONE IS THAT YOU ... ]

[ragingnature]

WAIT I DIDN'T MEAN SEND THAT YET!

[ragingnature]

How do I delete?

final

[ragingnature]

Ugh, nevermind. I guess it's too late now.

poor thing

[itsknighttime]

[[Dave is amused to the nth degree, but his text doesn't let on as per usual with him.]]

definitely too late
i see your mythology boner loud and clear and respect it bro
ngl though my dude hades is a badass name
you dont fuck with a guy thats got that name
thats like naming your chihuahua sweetiemuffin
you know that bitch is gonna bite your god damn arm off

aight okay but if your badass beau was good guy because knows you need to throw your ganders on a good story or two then that would be a plus
would he do that for you? would you participate in his undoubtedly badass shit for him?

[ragingnature]

[ Is it possible to die of embarrassment?

Well, maybe people won't realize she means the actual King of the Underworld and God of Riches and connect it all to her. ]

I believe he would. I would get involved in his "undoubtedly badass shit", as you put it, but he said he spends much of his time working when he's not spending it with family or his dogs. [ Or his girlfriend. ]

[itsknighttime]

[[He sure hopes not. Otherwise he hopes it isn't contagious. At the moment, Dave doesn't realize that it's literal Hades and even if he did, it probably wouldn't phase him.]]

you didnt say he was a dog man
dogs are fucking awesome
if animals like a person theyre usually a good catch
usually
i got a friend back home whos a dog who regaled me with that and if its coming out of the mouth of an actual dog person then you know the infos good

alright now the other guy who were gonna call pluto because i think its pretty good
would he chill out with you and do his least favorite thing just because you wanted to real badly?

[ragingnature]

He owns seven dogs and they're all such cuties.

I'd like to think he'd be willing to do something I enjoy even if he doesn't.

[itsknighttime]

you missed a math riddle opportunity to jokingly tell me he has twenty one dogs if were going for mythology here

huh well shit
the only thing i got left is to fall back on logic from home
back home where i live theres like four dating quadrants
red is like a human relationship
pale is like... youre still dating but you and your best friend do everything but show me yours i show you mine
but dont tell me people wouldnt
theres two others but i dont think they apply to the guys youre telling me about

you made me fall back on recommending quadrants my dude
kudos

[ragingnature]

I guess. Though if we want to go by headcount sometimes he has nine dogs.

Oh! There was someone that very angrily explained that quadrant thing shortly after I arrived. It's interesting but since I've never had what most people would consider a normal relationship I'd like to try that first.
